Default No sludge in water heaters

[QUOTE=jblum315;1444116]I would not recommend drinking water from the water heater however. There is sludge in the bottom[/QUOTE
There may be sediment but there is not sludge. If there was sludge you would be quite sick by now. If you drain your heater every year as you should you won't have any measurable sediment. I drained mine after three-year and no sediment. Take away=drain your tank now and have fifty (electric) or forty (gas) gallons if you need it.
